Fiction
Edit and Correct are harsh-sounding words that can strike fear in writers. They think, “I know nothing about grammar. I can’t edit. Let me hire someone.” And I retort, “Yes, but not yet.”
What do I mean by “not yet”? Why am I implying that we can do most of the editing and correction ourselves? Because we can. Be Brave and Try.

Thanks for listening to The Write Focus!
We focus on productivity, process, craft, and tools. The New Year starts with the challenge to be a writer. We ended 2021 with a manuscript, written during the fall writing challenge. Now we turn that manuscript into a document we can publish.
That’s our focus here: writing and the knowledge to solve any writing-related issues. We’re for newbies who want to become writing pros and veterans who are returning to writing after years away.
